-[here](https://github.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB-Reader-ruby/blob/main/README.dev.md).
+* Review open issues and PRs to see if anything needs to be addresses
+  before release.
+* Create a branch e.g. `horgh/release` and switch to it.
+  * `main` is protected.
+* Set the release version and release date in `CHANGELOG.md`. Be sure
+  the version follows [Semantic Versionsing](https://semver.org/).
+* Commit these changes.
+* Run `dev-bin/release.sh`.
+* Verify the release on the GitHub releases page.
+* If everything goes well, the authorized releases will receive an email
+  to review the pending deployment. If you are an authorized releaser,
+  you will need to approve the release deployment run. If you are not,
+  you will have to wait for an authorized releaser to do so.
+* Double check it looks okay at https://rubygems.org/gems/minfraud and
+  https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/minfraud.
+* Make a PR and get it merged.
